You are probably thinking about two half to death beatings. But that's not the essence of the joke.

I know but that is what I was arguing as my sentence states if one beating is right after the other indicating I was talking about two beating and not one full one

He doesn't say 'give me one beating of half to death'. If he had said that then his brother would have received double i.e. two beatings of half to death.

Since, he said 'beat me half to death'. Hence, its double would be full to death.

P.S.: we both must be fun at parties!!
